Ignoring all the additional issues connected to intensive animal "farming", it's simply the morally right thing to do not to keep living being locked up in concentration camps until their death just because we like the taste of their flesh. How is this even up to discussion? Feels like living in a society of sociopaths who could not care less about the suffering.
Interesting piece. Thanks! Respectfully, you greatly understated the deleterious effects of land use from livestock farming. The destruction of our ecosystems poses the greatest threat to life on earth. Ceasing livestock farming enables humans to return forests, wetlands, and savannas to their natural states. This in turn promotes the return of wildlife, healthy soils, natural water retention, carbon capture, and the overall ability for the planet to remain in ecological balance conducive to life on earth.
Cows are a part of nature and it would throw things out of balance to completely eliminate dairy as a food group, but I agree that it should be massively scaled back. If humans cut back dairy farming by maybe 20% even, over 5 years, it would put a dent in our carbon emissions. Cutting back 70% by 10 years would be amazing and there's be a LOT less dairy food waste if prices went a little higher, while lab grown girls in for the cheaper accessible method.
@@Iquey with how unsustainable the dairy industry is I honestly don't see it lasting another 10 years. If lab grown dairy can reach price parity then it's undoubtedly done for, well atleast in the states can't say the same about other places.
newculture is going to launch lab grown cheese next year, perhaps even this year at certain pizzaerias
